47 Albemarle Street, W1S 4JW Pascal Dombis: THE END OF ART IS NOT THE END
Daily 10am-6pm
Artist: Pascal Dombis
Bluerider ART London·Mayfair presents an exhibition by French artist Pascal Dombis. THE END OF ART IS NOT THE END, Pascal Dombis's first solo exhibition in UK, offers an opportunity to explore a protean and critical oeuvre that engages with the universal notion of time through the use of digital flows as the raw material of his work.
Pascal Dombis (France, b.1965), a Paris-based visual artist who focuses as much on language as on perception. He is noted for his excessive use of simple algorithmic rules. It was in the early 90s, while finishing his studies in Boston, that he encountered digital artistic tools, prompting a transition from painting to algorithms upon returning to France. Since then, he has created environments marked by excess, repetition and the unpredictability of technological processes, in which he aims to engage the viewers by questioning perception in relation to space, time and language. He develops multi-referential works which play with spatial environments and promote multiple interpretations. Recent exhibitions include Artists & Robots at the Grand Palais in Paris (2018), Cybernetic Consciousness at Itaú cultural in São Paulo (2017) and the Venice Biennale (2013). In 2020, he achieved the creation of a permanent public artwork, Double Connection, nearly one hundred meters long in the center of Shanghai. In 2022, he got a monographic exhibition Post-Digital at the Museum of Contemporary Art Sorocaba in Brazil.
